你有没有听过“人如其食”这句话呢？这句话究竟有什么含义呢？
当人们这样说时，他们大体是在谈论营养：吃上好和有营养的食物，比起吃很多没有营养的垃圾食物，对于我们的身体必定会更健康。
在赐给我们主餐时，主耶稣教导我们，主餐是祂的“身体”和祂的“血”。所以，按照人如其食的逻辑，我们可以说，当我们吃耶稣所赐的饼和喝耶稣所赐的果汁时，我们便会变得更像衪了。因为，在领受主餐时，我们思想耶稣舍己的牺牲，透过到处显明神的爱和分享藉基督得救恩的好消息，我们努力去按照祂的吩咐来生活。
主餐还有另一个重要性，就是我们是一群人在一起、组成一个共同体、作为合而为一的基督的身体一同来领受的。领受耶稣所赐的主餐，基本上是在教导我们成为一个基督徒群体的基本原则。
我们可能从牧者、长老、和教会会友手中领受饼和果汁。这样做帮助我们学习在群体中接受神所赐的恩典。藉着彼此分享食物和饮品，我们学习彼此分享神的恩典。因此，从一个既真实又奇妙的角度来说，藉着主餐，我们便能更合一地成为基督的身体了。因为人如其食。
主啊，藉着你的恩典和你圣灵的能力，惟愿我们能成为你的足、手、口、和身体，来服事世人，好叫他们能认识你的慈爱。阿们。
哥林多前书 10:14-17
14我所亲爱的弟兄啊，你们要逃避拜偶像的事。
15我好像对明白人说的，你们要审察我的话。
16我们所祝福的杯，岂不是同领基督的血吗？我们所掰开的饼，岂不是同领基督的身体吗？
17我们虽多，仍是一个饼、一个身体，因为我们都是分受这一个饼。
"Is not the bread that we break a participation in the body of Christ?" - 1 Corinthians 10:16
Have you heard the expression "You are what you eat"? What does that really mean?
When someone says this, they are generally talking about nutrition: if we eat good, nutritious food, our bodies will be healthier than if we eat a lot of non-nutritious junk food.
When he gave us the Lord's Supper, Jesus taught that this meal was his "body" and his "blood." So if we follow the logic of becoming what we eat, we might say that we become more like him when we eat the Jesus-bread and drink the Jesus-juice. That's because when we participate in this meal, we reflect on Jesus' self-giving sacrifice and we seek to live as he calls us to, showing God's love everywhere and sharing the good news of salvation through Christ.
Another important aspect of this meal is that we eat it together, in community as one body. In its basic practice, the Jesus-meal teaches us the basics of how to be a Christian community.
We receive the bread and juice from pastors and elders and perhaps fellow church members. This helps us learn how to receive God's gift of grace in community. Sharing the food and drink with one another, we learn to share God's grace with one another. In a real and miraculous sense, then, through this meal we are becoming ever more the body of Christ. We are what we eat.
Lord, by your grace and the power of your Spirit, may we become your feet, hands, mouth, and body to serve the world, that the world may know your love. Amen.
